Rating:
Summary: A Great Book
Review: This is a really great book. I got a lot out of it. All the games at the casino were covered. It also was entertaining to read. I highly recommend it.

Summary: The Only "how-to" book worth buying
Review: This is the perfect book for those who don't know, and those who think they know everything there is to know about your every day casino games. The book examines all casino games from a cerebral point of view, and advises (correctly) which games to play and those to avoid, while describing all of them fairly, intelligently and in perfect detail. All the gaming myths have been presented (and exposed in some cases), and the book does NOT read as though a person were trying to sell you a 'system'. All popular and not-so common gaming systems are discussed on a easy to read, per game section, and dissected thoroughly so to offer us as much knowledge (power) as possible before selling the portfolio and going to Vegas! There is mathematical support of all games to illustrate pros and cons of your particular game of choice (especially nice are the Craps buy vs. place bet table, and the video poker scenario tables). Logic, emotion, fun and sense are separated to provide a great enteraining and educational perspective into casino gaming. Important issues such as bankroll, statists and the dreaded casino edge are addressed in-depth and again, with the simple and complex math (for those who crave it) to support respective claims. I've read many intro and expert type how-to books, and this book is by far the best all purpose gaming book around.
